Patent EP-1038716-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KIRKPATRICK CHAD A
IPC: B60K17/28
Filed: 2000-03-02
Abstract: A power take-off unit (31) and hydraulic control system (32) includes an
external manifold (33) having a plurality of internal passageways formed therein.
Pressurized fluid from a source is supplied to an input port provided on the
manifold (33). A solenoid valve (34) is mounted on the manifold (33) and is
selectively operable in a first and second mode to control the flow of pressurized
fluid therethrough to a clutch actuation port of the power take-off unit. Low
pressure fluid is supplied from a low pressure port of the manifold (33) to the
power take-off unit (31) so as to provide internal lubricating fluid thereto. A
temperature switch (35) and a pressure switch (36) may also be mounted directly
on the manifold (33). A bracket or other mechanism may be provided to mount the
manifold on a support surface (37), such as on a side rail of a frame assembly for
the vehicle. Alternatively, the plurality of internal passageways may be formed
within a housing for the power take-off unit. Thus, the solenoid valve (34), the
temperature switch (35), and the pressure switch (36) are all mounted directly on
the housing of the power take-off unit (31), and no external mounting bracket or
other mechanism is required.

Abstract: An improved stepped etalon comprises a transparent body having
a stepped surface. The lands of the steps are separated by a non-abrupt or
softened transition region. This reduces the diffraction of light caused by the
step transitions, thereby reducing the dead spot behind the step transition
portions where interference prevents accurate measurements of light
transmission from being made. Methods for producing a smoothly stepped
etalon and for smoothing the step transitions in an abruptly stepped etalon are
also disclosed.

inclined by electrostatic attraction forces in one
direction, and the micro-mirror (51) can be restored by
electrostatic attraction forces of the auxiliary
electrodes when restored.

Abstract: Uridine-5'-monophosphate is produced by
cultivating in a nutrient medium an uridine-5'-monophosphate
producing mutant of coryneform bacterium
and which is characterized by at least a resistance to
growth inhibition by pyrimidine analogue or a
deficiency in uridine degrading activity or combination
of said property by protoplast fusion. This method has
the advantage of decreased by-production of uracil.
Thus, uridine-5'-monophosphate can be produced in much
greater yields, compared with known methods.

Abstract: A cellular wireless internet access system which operates in the 2.5 to 2.68 GHz band and
which must comply with complex government regulations on power levels, subscriber
equipment and interference levels yet which provides high data rates to users and cell
sizes of 1 ½ miles radius or more from base stations with subscriber equipment and
antennas mounted indoors. Such base stations are mounted low and use spread-spectrum
transmission to comply with interference rules with respect to adjacent license areas. An
unidirectional tear-drop coverage pattern is used at multiple cells to further reduce
interference when required. Time division duplex is used to allow the system to operate
on any single channel of varying bandwidth within the 2.5 to 2.68 GHz band. Backhaul
transmission from base stations to the Internet is provided using base station radio
equipment, operating either on a different frequency in the band or on the same frequency
using a time-division peer-to-peer technique. Different effective data rates are provided
by a prioritization tiering technique.

Abstract: A signal outputting electrode (42) is mounted for outputting an electric
signal generated in an envelope of a cathode ray tube to the outside without being
adversely influenced by a getter. A signal outputting electrode (42) is mounted in
an area which is not covered with an internal conductive film (22) in a state where
the periphery of the electrode is apart from an inner wall of a funnel (20) via an
intermediate member. When a getter is introduced into the tube in the state where
the signal outputting electrode (42) is mounted, the getter is prevented from
reaching the intermediate member. It therefore prevents conduction between the
signal outputting electrode (42) and the inner conductive film (22).

Abstract: A system and method for output power controlled
stabilizing system comprises a wavelength limiter which
minimizes the wavelength variation of a laser signal
light. The wavelength limiter comprises a first and
second clamping circuit. The first clamping circuit
receives an offset voltage, compares the offset voltage
to a first predetermined reference voltage, and outputs
the voltage difference between the offset voltage and
the first predetermined reference voltage. If the
offset voltage rises higher than the first
predetermined reference voltage, the first clamping
circuit then clamps and keeps the power of the output
power controlled wavelength stabilizing system from
increasing. The second clamping circuit receives the
offset voltage, compares the offset voltage to a second
predetermined reference voltage, and outputs the
voltage difference between the offset voltage and the
second predetermined reference voltage. If the offset
voltage drops below the second predetermined reference
voltage, the second clamping circuit then clamps and
keeps the power of the output power controlled
wavelength stabilizing system from decreasing.

Abstract: Typical known methods for producing large quantities of concentrated extracts from solid raw materials such as ground, roasted coffee are not ideally suited to producing high quality coffee extracts that are rich in flavor and fragrance, and which maintain the varietal characteristics of the roasted coffee from which they are produced. The current invention provides filtration methods e.g. reverse osmosis or nanofiltration for producing such high quality concentrated extracts from more dilute extracts via solvent removal. The invention provides methods that have sufficient flexibility and scalability to be used for a wide variety of applications, including for producing industrial-scale quantities of extracts for the food and beverage industry. The invention provides methods and apparatus that can produce highly concentrated, "gourmet quality" extracts for use as flavoring agents, beverage concentrates, and fragrances. The solvent-reduced, concentrated extracts produced according to the inventive solvent removal methods can be advantageously used for applications where high quality coffee extracts, with a high concentration of soluble coffee solids, for example of at least 6 wt. %-40 wt. %, and a high level of retention of varietal flavor and fragrance characteristics are desired.

Abstract: ID codes are given individually to each information
carrier reproducing apparatus. Each information carrier (1)
has a subsidiary storing area (18, 3, 17) for recording
reproduction-management-information (RMI) and ID codes can
be registered in this area. When the ID code of a
reproducing apparatus is registered, that reproducing
apparatus becomes permitted to reproduce main information
from the information carrier. When the reproducing
apparatus of which the ID code is not registered tries to
reproduce the main information from the information
carrier, the ID code of the reproducing apparatus itself is
registered in the RMI of the information carrier and the
main information is not reproduced. The number of ID codes
permitted for registration in the RMI is restricted. When
the area in the RMI for requesting the ID code is fully
occupied, the main information cannot be reproduced from
the information carrier by the reproducing apparatus of
which the ID codes are not registered. When the reproducing
apparatus digitally copy the main information reproduced
from the information carrier where the ID code of the
reproducing apparatus is registered, the ID code of the
reproducing apparatus is registered in the information
carrier of the copy destination. An initializing apparatus
for initializing the RMI in the information carrier
accumulates the total number of the ID codes registrable in
the RMIs of the information carriers initialized by the
initializing apparatus. This system may be used to prevent
the unauthorised re-coding of copyright material and/or to
record the instances of copying so that an appropriate
royalty fee can be charged.
